Review:
When visiting the Arctic, the North Pole is not too far from reality. Because of this, it should come as no surprise that Akureyri is home to the Christmas House, also called jolagardurinn. Open year-round, visitors to The Christmas House will feel as if they’ve stepped right into the holiday season once they enter the Christmas House. A fire roars in the fireplace and Christmas Carols play over the speakers. Inside, you’ll find many locally made crafts, Icelandic Christmas traditions, and the largest Christmas calendar in the world. When the weather is nice outside, visit the Well of Unborn children to make a wish, or picnic in the manicured gardens.
